Biographical History
The photographer, Basil E. Clemons, came to Alaska in 1909 and photographed gold mining camps, Native Alaskans, and dogsled races among other subjects. In 1918, he moved to Seattle and established a photograph studio which was later destroyed by fire. He continued his career in Breckinridge, Texas, developing photographs in a gypsy wagon without running water or electricity, utilizing techniques largely unknown to the photographic profession. In 1936 he turned down an offer from Eastman Kodak Company for his process for color developing. He died in 1964.
